Thank you for getting online and commenting on our BLOG!
Still one of the only blogs where pupils write most of the posts.
Check out our MATHS WORKOUT films which we have just started to post up.
A friend who teaches at Dalbeattie called to say she thinks the films are a great idea. More please!
We are working on it.

Wow! Families Put Together Amazing Machines for Homework
Our February technology challenge was carried out by around 27 families and machines came in all shapes and sizes. Pupils used Lego, Mechano, junk boxes, cardboard, wood and metal to create amazing catapulting machines.
Some machines proved to be small and powerful, others large and complex but all met the brief and fired at our medieval wall.
Using Capital Letters!
I have been reading the posts on the blog and they are very interesting. However, it would be great if pupils would read over their work to correct spelling and CAPITAL letters.
Place names
People’s names
Titles
At the start of a sentence
PLEASE start putting in your capital letters.
Thank you,

Cooking in a Castle
Today in class we tried lots of different meats that would have been eaten by noble men and woman living in castles 500 years ago. We tried rabbit, hare, pheasant, pigeon and deer.
We made flat breads using Jamie Oliver’s recipe…
although perhaps a little less salt!
Traditionally flat breads would have been used like a plate except this one could soak up your gravy and you could eat it.
We also tried some fruit chutneys unbelievably these were not as popular as the meats!
Most of the pupils tried out the now rarely eaten foods – pigeon was found to be the favourite.
A big thank you to Mr McKeown for providing the meat for our tasty castle banquet!

Mary Queen Of Scots
Since we came back from the Christmas holiday we have been learning about Mary Queen Of Scots. We even did a personal project on it, my group did a small play on the execution of Mary. People created posters, models etc. We did not just learn about the execution we learned that when she was 6 days old she became queen and she was born in 1542, she was married 3 times. She was a widow at 18 and she was cousins with queen Elizabeth of England and she was 5 years old when she went to France to live . I’m really enjoying this topic.
